Interesting discussion

AI is here that can write its own code, so "self development" is possible

But AI is not yet autonomous, walking\rolling around independently, deciding on its own where to apply its time and effort, what outcomes it wants to generate

Even self aware, with desires\wants\ etc it is still dependent on computer code and a "box" it resides in, and an energy source that it must be connected to...

But give it specific tasks and it is an awesome tool

What will it look like in 50 years? No idea.

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
